SAFETY

For your convenience we divided all countries and territories into 4 categories, based on their safety conditions:

Very Safe (VS) – unfortunately, not so many places in the world right now could be safe like that. Mostly they’re countries in the Northern Europe and some very small countries.

Safe (SF)– most of high-developed and civilized countries are pretty much safe for the tourists.

Moderate (MOD)– in these countries there are a lot of crimes on the streets, but in the tourists places it’s relatively safe (or even not). You can go there at your own risk, or you can replace them with visiting other similar countries, where safety is much higher.

Not Safe (NS) – these countries are hell on Earth and we strongly recommend you NOT to visit them! Most of them are in Africa, Middle East and South America.

Guideline to the World

How big is the world?

Since South Sudan became an independent state on 9 July 2011, there are now 195 independent sovereign states in the world (including disputed but de facto independent Taiwan), plus about 60 dependent areas, and five disputed territories, like Kosovo.
